Treat the recommendation as a strong route framework, not a race to collect stops. Pick the gateway base first, then group city, landscape or heritage days around places that sit naturally together. One base is usually calmer for a three-to-five-day visit; a second base can reduce road time on a longer trip. An active pace adds stops, while an easy pace preserves time for museums, neighbourhood walks and recovery. The full guide linked from the result explains the main places and regional context. Recheck transport timetables, accommodation, mountain-road access and required documents close to departure, and keep a weather margin whenever the itinerary reaches higher ground.
